On average, there are between three to five Menkyo degrees over the practitioner life span. 

This system of “titles” is still used today in most traditional schools called Koryu.

Thanks to Jigoro Kano, we have in Karate this ranking system that we all love, the colored belts.

As you could see, both the number of kyu ranking and the color associated with it varies from styles to styles, but one thing remains — that matters most in the journey, not the destination.

What rank do you have?

Meaning of Karate Ranks & Titles

Most Karate styles use a 10 kyu and 10 dan system borrowed from Judo.

A disciple’s advancement was not evaluated based on ranks, but by the number of years he had trained, what level he has reached, and how properly developed his mind has become.

In Okinawa, the kyu/dan system did not become universal until 1956 when the Okinawa Karate Federation was formed.

Ancient Japanese Martial Arts Ranking System

Before the introduction of Kyu and Dan rankings in Judo by Kano Jigoro, Japanese martial arts used a ranking system called Menkyo or “license”.

The Menkyo system is an old Japanese license system dating back to the 8th century.

The master was then giving his disciple a certificate in the form of a calligraphed roll, testifying the technical and mental transmission of the art. 

The Menkyo system is not based on the years of study, but on the mastery of the discipline.

One particularity of the Menkyo system is that there are far fewer levels than in the kyu/dan system.

In self-defense, they show more control and confidence. This rank is usually reserved for the founder or leader of a Karate style.

Brown Belt (1st Kyu)
Minimum time before the next rank: 18 months of active training as a brown belt.
The brown belt level is the last kyu level. The “Black Belt” was designed as a way to show competence in the art, not mastery of it.

Practically every traditional art, from calligraphy to flower arragement, comes with its own progressive series of formal ranks. After some time, Okinawa and Japan began using the system as well.

It’s important to note that today, there is no standard regarding Karate belt colors as it varies with schools and organizations.

It’s not a secret, the Japanese culture is highly disciplined and structured.

Totalt finns 10 grader på svart bälte.
Shodan (1:a dan)
Nidan (2:a dan)
Sandan (3:e dan)
Yondan (4:e dan)
Godan (5:e dan)
Efter Godan kan man inte gradera utan utses av en kommitté bestående av högre dangraderade mästare till högre grad.

Man tvättar aldrig bältet! The practitioner is then called “Mudansha”.

As they progress, Karateka (Karate practitioners) advance numerically downwards through the kyu grades, so 1st kyu (or brown belt) is the highest or most advanced “student” rank.

White Belt (6th Kyu)
Minimum time before the next rank: 3 months of active training as a white belt.
A white belt symbolizes the starting point or the beginning of the Karate journey.

Traditionen med olika färger på bälten utvecklades på 1930-talet av judons grundare Kanō Jigorō. Knowing how strict and proud the Japanese are, it is nearly inconceivable that a student training with a dirty belt or uniform would be allowed to train.

Judo’s Influence on Karate’s Ranking

Martial arts belt ranking and training uniform began with Jigoro Kano (1860–1938), the founder of Judo.
